Young Thug Gets a Taste of His Own Medicine

For many that haven't heard about the "knock out game", it's a "game" youths play where they single out an individual and go up to said individual and
attempt knock them out. This "game" is becoming more and more commonplace each year. It is also becoming more common across the Country (United
States). In some cases, people have died because of this "game"
www.syracuse.com... Many posters here on
ATS seem to think that things like this are few and far between. That's not the case. Not every case is published in the Newspaper and many
instances often go unreported for one reason or another.

In this instance, a youth attempts to attack the wrong person, a Concealed Carry Holder. The youth got a taste of his own medicine, somewhat.
I would be extremely happy to hear about more instances like the one posted in this article.

The article! I think most of you will enjoy reading this as the man had fate on his side- www.mlive.com...

Ok, maybe I worded it incorrectly. I meant fate for the man because the stun-gun didn't go off on him. The youth had even said that he tried it out
earlier in the day and it had worked, but not when he tried to assault the man.
I hope I cleared that up

Well, the dirtbag got what he deserved, and I hope it happens more.
You randomly attack someone, for the 'fun' of it, chances youre gonna be like this kid and get shot by a CCW holder.
Then that idiot deserves EVERY OUNCE of pain he gets

Haha...! Shot in the bum for being a git...he deserves every second of the pain he felt. I'm very happy he wasn't more seriously injured though, and
maybe that's surprising..I dunno. I don't want to see anyone killed for any reason ever, not even some little brat like this guy. It's so much more
satisfying that he learns, even by some weird Pavlovian method, not to hurt people.

What a strange tale. Whilst i am most certainly not a fan of guns, i do find this quite funny in a way. The lad in question doesn't seem to be too
bad (in terms of character), despite what he tried to do. It seems to be a case of a 17 year old lad (always more immature than any 17 year old girl)
getting carried away with his mates and then getting his comeuppance.

His actions post being shot seem to show that he isn't a typical scrote and at 17 years old this frankly avoidable situation could have a very
positive effect on the rest of his life in that he seems to realise he was being an idiot and needs to grow up. He has also got to see what sort of
"friends" he has - something that can only ever be an eye opener.

Fair play to the guy who shot him as well, particularly for sticking around and trying to help the lad. That is a proper demonstration of
responsibility right there for the lad as the guy took the decision to shoot him and then stayed to take responsibility for his actions.

Please . . . give me a break! This joker was a criminal from the very beginning, if the stun gun had been operational he could have killed the
shooter, and then he and his buddies could sit around the pad shooting up with heroin or meth and laugh about the victim as he lay dead in the
streets.

He has no character at all. We need to drop you off on the south side of Chicago sometime without protection and let you share the fantasy of making
it out of that area alive. This 17 year old "Child" does not deserve any mercy, he was willing to render extreme harm or even death to his victim.
He is a criminal, the sad part is that we the taxpayers have to pay for this joker being put in jail instead on climbing the gallows. Adios Amigo.

People can change, sometimes it takes a serious incident to force that change, sometimes not. He was a 17 year old child, for gods sake. Did you never
make mistakes as a teenager? You must be one of only of a few worldwide if you didn't.

The problem is, like I stated in the OP, this is a common occurrence. Chances are this kid and his buddies have done this before.
Things are a lot different in the states (urban areas) than our cousins overseas think. It's shameful really.;

In the case of the OP I don't even think jail time is necessary, the kid learned his lesson and has a bullet hole to remind him of his idiocy. In
some cases, it's better they learn justice dealt swiftly and surely like this man did, he might go off to jail now and end up in con college... limit
the possibilities he has in the future to straighten out.

Kind of like forcing a thief to pay back what they stole and more by forcing them to work for the business they stole from. That kind of thing.

People like these stories though... It serves anyone right being a bully, picking on others, trying to show your toughness by beating someone weaker
than you.

well I am pleased. In the end, this kid learned his lesson, his friends learned their lesson, and many others who hear about this will learn their
lesson.

AND All it cost was a 900 dollar hand gun and really good aim.

instead of many thousands of dollars and pain in potential litigation against similar potential attackers who will now think twice before doing
something like this, and /or, someone killing someone accidentally.

the tall kid in the video showed a lot of patience. he waited until the shorter kid hit him in the face.

sometimes the victim of a bully is not so tall, or strong, or young; and it is always a scary experience. lucky for the person in your video and the
victim in the opening post that they held some advantage and luck over their attackers.

The punk is extremely lucky to have his life and better thank God for that. The victim was most certainly fearing for his own life or he wouldn't
have pulled his weapon. Which is exactly why he has a CCW permit and used his weapon accordingly. Although I can't stress enough how lucky that punk
is to be alive.

I have no remorse for things that happen to people who commit violent acts. When I was younger man, I never wished harm on anyone! Just wasn't a
violent man. I learned that self-defense was a crucial part of living and growing up and never purposely hurt anyone. These punks that think it's
fun to see other people get hurt are just asking for a beating, or worse. Almost as if they don't learn until it is too late. They are not invincible
and deserve to be punished...end of story.

If you are willing to commit a violent act towards a non aggressor just for fun, then you deserve the consequences because not only are you
threatening someone else's life, you are risking your own.
